FAIRVALLEY, MARA
FEB. 4------Mr. McIsaac of Uptergrove, who is visiting his daughter Mrs. Nick Lambe, was taken suddenly very ill Tuesday evening. Mr. McIsaac went outside and a few minutes later Mrs. Lamb opened the door to go out and was shocked to find her father lying on the step unconscious. He is under Dr. Kelly's care and we think on the mend.
